Let's see, what will be s - s, s - p and p - p overlap.

s-s overlap Overlap of two half filled s-orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis.

s-p overlap Overlap between half-filled p-orbitals of one atom and half-filled s-orbitals of another atom.

p-p overlap Overlap between half-filled p-orbitals of the two approaching atoms.
